About eFuels

Electricity based fuels,or eFuels,are clean,carbon-neutral fuels produced from renewable,green hydrogen and carbon dioxide taken from the atmosphere. eFuels have the same chemical properties as fossil-based fuels and,as a result,can be used as direct substitutes in existing motors and infrastructure. As an example,one version of eFuel is a carbon-neutral gasoline substitute that can be used by existing cars and trucks without any modifications to the engine. Current gas stations would not need to be altered in any way,as consumers could simply pull up to existing pumps and fill their tanks. And no changes are necessary to existing infrastructure,either; eFuels can be transported around the world like regular fuels are transported today.
